A1612A/B 1310 nm Forward-Path DFB Laser Modules
Description
The A1612A/B 1310 nm forward-path DFB laser
modules are designed for both broadcast and nar-
rowcast analog applications. The highly linear,
OC-48 pinout-compatible devices feature up to
31 mW output power with superior distortion perfor-
mance over an enhanced operating temperature
range of –40 °C to + 85 °C.
With 31 mW of output power, the A1612A/B module
enables transmission beyond 40 km, and a greater
number of optical splits. In addition, the wide operat-
ing temperature range increases the laser’s reliability
even in the harshest environments.
